Does anyone else think these commercials fail tonight?

It would seem that they keep getting worse and worse. Why is this?

Questionable ROI, maybe?
The spots still cost a fortune but tv commercials are becoming less and less effective overall, so they probably had to cut the costs in creative and production to make up the difference.

You are so right. It was an extremely lame crop. They were all overproduced and fail advertising 101—sell the product. The only ones I liked were the Doritos commercials and the new ETrade babies. Even the usually great Bud ads were bad except for the first one with the fetching Clydesdale, which was only fair.

yeah the commercials were horrible tonight. There were a few alright ones. My favorite was definitely the sobe commercial with Ray Lewis. lol seeing him dance around like a ballerina and what not was fucking hillarious. He’s just the motherfuckin man though. lol
